Football Federation Australia has called an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) On November 1 in an attempt to end the impasse over the sport's governance and push through a new congress model.

A-League clubs have threatened legal action to stop what Adelaide United chairman Greg Griffin has described as an "abuse of power" from FFA.

A resolution must be struck by November 30 or FIFA will remove FFA's board and install a 'normalisation committee' to run Australian soccer.

FIFA’s ‘normalisation committee’ will look to implement its own structure and people, with a number of government officials along with leaders from the football and business communities set to take over.

It would likely be made up of locals, but precedents have been set by FIFA where overseas committee members have been installed.

The political twist comes amid a number of candidates being thrown up as possible replacements for Postecoglou.

Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi believes only another Australian should coach the national team because they would understand the brand of football this country is accustomed to.

“I feel that it should be an Australian. I don’t think the foreign coaches we’ve had in the past believe in what we’re doing here in Australia,” Aloisi said.

“As a player I really felt that putting on that jersey meant something and the national team coach, if he’s Australian, really feels something.’’

Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold is understood to be FFA’s preferred choice to take over on the eve of the World Cup.
